WESTMINSTER, Colo.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Maxar Technologies Ltd. (“Maxar” or the “Company,” formerly MacDonald,
Dettwiler and Associates Ltd.), (NYSE and TSX: MAXR), a leading global
provider of advanced space technology solutions for commercial and
government markets, today announced plans to move its corporate
headquarters to Westminster, Colorado from San Francisco.

“These are the types of innovative technologies and services
that generate good-paying jobs, requiring the highly-skilled workforce
we are working to attract and develop in the state. I look forward to
seeing how Maxar Technologies continues to innovate and grow here in
Colorado.”

“We are excited to become part of the dynamic Denver business and tech
community,” said Howard L. Lance, president and chief executive officer
of Maxar Technologies. “This move represents an opportunity to bring
together our executive leadership team in a common location, as well as
to establish a base for our future shared-services organizations. Maxar
is committed to accelerating innovation in the space industry, providing
space systems, robotics, Earth imagery, geospatial data and analytics
solutions that empower a better world.”

Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper and Mr. Lance made the joint
announcement of the move from the lobby of Maxar’s new headquarters in
an event attended by state, county and local officials. “We are proud
Maxar chose Colorado as its new home,” Governor Hickenlooper said.
“Their presence in the Denver Metro area reflects our state’s commitment
to innovation, business and job growth. Colorado is a global leader in
tech and aerospace. By locating here, Maxar now has access to our highly
educated and skilled talent pool.”

Maxar Corporate headquarters will be located within the DigitalGlobe
business unit facility, acquired by Maxar Technologies in October 2017.
Maxar’s three other technology businesses are Radiant Solutions, based
in Herndon, Virginia; SSL, based in Palo Alto, California; and MDA,
based in Richmond, Ottawa, Brampton, Montreal and Halifax, Canada.
Currently, DigitalGlobe employs 1,000 people in Colorado, with 800 of
them in the Westminster facility. The move of Maxar’s headquarters and
growth in DigitalGlobe is expected to result in the addition of
approximately 800 jobs over the next eight years.

“I’m proud of the work DigitalGlobe, and now Maxar Technologies, is
doing here in Colorado,” said U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter of Colorado’s 7th
District. “These are the types of innovative technologies and services
that generate good-paying jobs, requiring the highly-skilled workforce
we are working to attract and develop in the state. I look forward to
seeing how Maxar Technologies continues to innovate and grow here in
Colorado.”

Maxar’s four business units provide solutions to the U.S. government,
Canadian government, over a dozen international governments, commercial
aerospace and tech customers around the globe including Lockheed,
Boeing, Google and Apple, as well as NGOs such as The Bill & Melinda
Gates Foundation.

Said Lance, “We are grateful for the continued support of the Colorado
Economic Development Commission, Governor Hickenlooper and the State of
Colorado for job growth-based incentives, as well as for the significant
support offered by the City of Westminster and Adams County. This is a
really exciting time to be in the space technology business. We’re
driving innovation in all of our locations across North America, and
Colorado offers many advantages as our new corporate hub.”
